Future posts

So I've been posting to this blog for a couple of months now, and I've actually posted all of the things that I wrote sometime in the past 6 months. Of course I still have more topics I want to write, and a couple of other people have suggested ideas. So here's a list of things I'll blog about sometime in the next month or three:

Test engineer salaries

Career path for engineers

Useful background/experience for test engineering

Typical issues faced by a test engineer

Sustaining engineering vs. test engineering

Falling in love with the test system

Interns

Outsourcing test

Labview style

This list is as much for me as for anyone reading this. I have a long text file where I've been writing down ideas - this was a good way for me to sift through that list, filter out what I've already written about, throw away bad ideas, and summarize what I had left. Furthermore, all of these items on the list are of current importance to me because I've dealt with them in the past year, or will be soon.

This is only a test

Test engineering is a profession that can mean many things, depending on where you work. Whether you run script engines simulating GUI use, write LabVIEW code all day, or do hard core SPC, this blog is intended to be interesting.
